About Garden Cottage at Twistgates Farm Cottages
Tranquil Pet-Friendly Rural Retreat in the Blackdown Hills AONB
Garden Cottage offers a lovely environment in which you can relax and unwind from the moment you enter. This charming property has exposed beams and stonework which hint at its former life as a farm building, it has now been converted into a delightful holiday home for up to 3 guests, with 1 well behaved dog welcome to stay.
Upstairs there is a large bedroom with ample room for us to add a bed for a child and a bathroom with hand held shower over the bath. Downstairs there is an open plan room with fully fitted kitchen, dining table and chairs and very comfortable seating around the wood burning stove. A cot and high chair are available on request. Outside there is a pretty patio area with garden furniture, a great spot for alfresco dining. Garden Cottage is perfect for a romantic break or as a peaceful place for couples or a small family to relax (an extra bed can be added).
